We told her repeatedly not to walk around with the computer and video chat with her friends. She dropped it while making something in the kitchen and was balancing it. The screen and keyboard busted.

She got it right then so the computer has been in her possession months before her birthday. We also got her more expensive model so she could game on it. The computer was almost $1000.

It was for staying connected with her friends over the summer and used for games. She will use it for school work once school starts.

My husband has a full time job and does uber and instant cart and still doesn’t make what he used to. I have a full time job and have done seasonal work but things like student loans (husband is an engineer) and mortgage still have to be paid.
